A Texas man died Sunday night from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident on Larimer County Road 43 northeast of town.

Gary Mayr, 59, of Eddy, Texas, died about 11:12 p.m. when he lost control of his eastbound motorcycle which skidded 62 feet before coming to a rest on its right side near mile marker 5, according to a Colorado State Patrol accident report.

Mayr, who was riding alone and not wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle.

CSP officials believe that alcohol and speed may have been contributing factors in the accident.
